Artificial intelligence is already making its way into the sports media world. From game recaps being made within seconds to highlight reels and analytics done in minutes without having to break a sweat.
The goal is for AI to be used as a tool, some people will use the tool of AI for selfish and personal gain, which takes a toll on the evolution of jobs in today's society.
According to a Medium article, AI tools are reshaping how content is made and published. Programs can process live game stats and produce instant written summaries faster than a human could do, which is a win for efficiency but a loss and a challenge for editors focused on excelling in their careers.
For my particular field in the sports media world, I'd like to have a career in sports photography. AI tools would be beneficial to assisting photographers to produce work faster and capture cleaner shots with auto focus. Certain software can sort photos automatically and adjust lighting and filters, and in a fast-paced environment like sports photography, this would be efficient in this field. To me, the human eye for capturing moments is irreplaceable, even though AI can help "capture" the moment, a photographer's instincts are what rule over what any AI could do.

In this situation, AI can make photos better but who's behind the camera has the potential to make the photo great. I don't believe that AI will replace photographers as a whole, but it will definitely show who's genuinely passionate about their craft and who's just doing it to do it without really taking the time to carefully create a visual form of art.
